Peter I think its good to have specifically bird focussed notices of this kind on this list. I think a lot of us like to know what is available, even if we are not currently posed to take advantage of these opportunities: I do not regard this as spam, to any remote degree.

As you and many others will know, we’ve been running 6 Grasswren tours since 2006, expanded to 9 Grasswrens 2 years ago, and we’re now working with local bird guides to plan an all Grasswren tour taking in all current species plus a number of the proposed splits. It will be delivered using a combination of private charter flights (by a reputable company) and 4WD vehicles. It looks like it will be around 16 days. As a result, it will be expensive and with limited seats. Nevertheless, there has already been strong interest. Further details are on my website: http://www.bellbirdtours.com and here: http://sabirding.com/grasswren.html#all keeping in mind that we’re still in the final planning stage of this project. (I’ve always refrained from putting messages of a commercial nature on birding-aus so sorry if this breaks the advertising rules but it appears that others can do so undeterred and repeatedly). cheers Peter ——- Peter Waanders Bellbird Tours / Southern Birding Services / Australian Birding Store PO Box 2008, Berri SA 5343 Australia Phone: 1800-BIRDING (free from landlines within Australia) mob.: +61 (0)409 763172 sat.: +61 (0)424 212889 Email: birds@bellbirdtours.combirds@bellbirdtours.com> Bellbird Tours: www.bellbirdtours.com Southern Birding Services: www.sabirding.com Birding Store: www.birdingstore.com.au Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Southern-Birding-Services/134270499971996 On Wed, May 6, 2015 at 1:30 AM, Laurie Knight <l.knight@optusnet.com.au> wrote: G?day Don The parrot tour that the locals would want to do would be one that takes them to the hard to get ones – Princess, Scarlet Chested, Night, Paradise etc 😉 An interesting challenge would be to set up a Grasswren tour – grasswrens are iconic outback birds, and you could probably put together a good scenic tour that lines up all their ranges ?

I know that globally those of us who do not live in Aus have no qualms about funding a tour just to see parrots. I wonder what my mates in Aus think about this one.
